Women in Recovery Photography Program

Since November of 1998, Friends educator and artist Alcina Horstman has taught photography to mothers recovering from drug and/or alcohol addiction living in three residential treatment centers operated by Women and Children's Family Services (WAC), a multicultural nonprofit organization created by women to serve women. The classes are photography-based, but the focus is on non-silver or non-darkroom processes. Recently participants created photography quilts for their children that will become family heirlooms. The program is sponsored by the California Arts Council's Artists Serving Special Constituents Grant.
